I am considering getting a video camera for filming my hunts or rather shots. I would like the option to mount it to my rifle or on a tripod. Durability and ease of use are very important.

Since I don't have a clue what to get or what to look for in a camera I was hoping y'all would enlighten me on the subject.

Thanks,

I don't know much about them, but I have seen "action cams" that can be mounted on just about anything. "Cyberguys" has some(item #2040155), but there are others. I've seen them mounted on bike riders helmets, handle bars, car roofs etc. Probably have to come up with your own gun mount.

gopro makes a good one plus it water / weather proof. light weight adn films pretty good.

Video cameras for hunting can get very expensive. I don't know how much you are willing to spend, but if you want to get quality action and outdoor footage then you should expect to spend at least $1000. It is possible to get decent footage from a $500 video camera if you are just looking to preserve some memories.

A good spot to start is this website: http://www.bestforhunting.com/?page_id=514 They list the best video cameras for hunting and have it broke down by different price ranges. I took the advice and am happy with my purchase. I spent $1000 and get good quality footage from a canon vixia. I forget the exact model, but there is a newer model and the website above has updated and changed things around since then.

Good Luck!

The go pro is not bad but the focus is pretty short. I use a go pro and a Sony AX 2000 to make TV shows for the Sportsman Channel. Not Cheap but you really get what you pay for on cameras
